I wish You peace my man, we are both saying the correct thing just having two different world views. Ur view is that evil is evil and my view is that some evil is necessary to avoid a greater Evil.
An hitler fan will also say this.

I wish you love.

see ba, in the old Israel culture Kingship was also a popularity thing, reason why Saul hated David and why Absalom almost took David's throne while he was alive. David was a well respected King but He never announced His successor in public, He told only His Priest and His Wife Beersheba.
If Adonijah had gotten David's Concubine as a Wife, He would use it as a tool to increase His popularity amongst the Israelites and also to make claim that He was the rightful heir given that He was the oldest son of king David. It is also to be Mentioned that Solomon had a love Hate relationship with many parts of Israel which is why immediately He died they broke off from His Son Rehoboam and left the Bloodline of David to rule Judah..
Kingship was popularity and not of God during the time or David who Himself was chosen by God? undecided

2. Adonijah, by violating God's very Law which decrees no man should yearn for his father's wife would gain popularity with the people in his cursed state enough to become King of Israel? undecided

She wasn't David's Wife, she was His concubine. Him making Her His Wife would help hide Her shame and still keep Her in the House of King David. Also the Lord chose King Solomon but don't forget that there were also present many other supposed Messengers of God who would have also told people Adonijah was Chosen by the Lord

1. Does the Law of Moses recognize a wife apart from a concubine? undecided

Her shame? She is noted as having belonged to David by His own sons, where is the shame in that? undecided

2. You mean the false prophets in the Land at the time? You mean God would have sat back and watched the false prophets upturn His very selection for the throne at that time? undecided

What you are positing still makes no sense. King David had numerous wives and concubines, so what made Abishag special that she determined who would be King? From the story, we are not even sure of the relationship between Abishag and King David. Some say she was brought in to warm is body and bed, but it was said she remained a virgin, meaning King David had not defiled/raped her.
As I said, King David had already been installed as King, I does not make sense that people will demand a change of Kings because one of King David's son married one of his concubines or wife.

Adonijah did not marry Abishag, defiled her or even approached her, instead he asked for permission from the king (his brother). His brother could have said no, then that's should have been the end of it. If Adonijah had gone ahead and had sexual relations with Abishag after David's refusal, then he would have had a point in murdering his brother, but he just became blood thirsty and murdered an innocent man.

Though Adonija’s intentions wasn’t pure,
but that was a humble request which could have been refused,
more also, he politely approached Solomon’s mother first!
but a King does not takes calmly whatever poses a threat to his leadership!

Besides; Solomon does not also joke With anything that concerns his libido,
just like his Father who killed the husband of his mother(Uriah) just to possess her.

It’s hereditary


I swear the whole story makes me wanna cringe‼️
I have a lot to say concerning this story but I rest my case‼️

That's treason. Those days it was considered a treasonable offence if you slept with the king's wife or concubines or anyone the king has obviously slept with, let alone marriage.

But king Solomon eventually ended up marrying Abishag, his father's concubine, do you consider that treason?

Adonijah was already guilty of death for rebelling against his dad, king David

When King David was dying, he instructed Solomon to put some collaborators and offenders to death albeit diplomatically

So that was it...

King Solomon was waiting for the opportunity...

When Adonijah approached King Solomon's mum, Batsheiba, to talk to the king for him so as to marry king David's last wife.
That was the last straw that broke his camels spine...

It was easily perceived that he wasn't contented with his position/situation and wanted more

Very soon, he might want the throne

So Solomon just carried out his father's last instruction

He wasn't wrong


Their dad David killed somebody and rapped his wife but that didn’t cost him his life.
It’s the person that wants to marry his deceased dad’s wife that should die?

Adonija wanted to marry the virgin girl that was given to his father who was the formal king. He was indirectly indicating his interest for the throne just like Absalom indicated interested in the throne of their father earlier on by sleeping with their father's concubines.

Sleeping with any of the reigning or immediate past King's wives or concumbines is a way of indicating interested for the throne in those days.

King Solomon saw Adonija as a threat to his throne by virtue of Adonija's request that was why he had him executed
Re: Was This Action Of King Solomon Right Or Wrong? by BePrepared: 12:54pm On Aug 13, 2023
advanceDNA:


Solomon considered adonija's action as being covetous of the what belongs to the king's office....he not only wanted the girl, he wanted the throne.......its a treasonable offence..
..its Solomon's discretion to either put such a person to death or not...in my opinion...he would be stupíd to leave such a person alive...

.. however we are in mordern times that laws are different....even kings do not have final say over capital punishment....

Exactly my take, he wanted the throne via subtle route.

FalseProphet1:
You see after David killed Uriah and stole his wife Bathsheba, God cursed David's lineage and said that even though he committed the sin in secrete, he would bear the same publicly.

Ammon raped his sister Tamar.

Absolom killed his brother Ammon for raping his sister Tamar.

Absolom had sex with David's concubines on the roof for all Israel to see.

Solomon killed his brother Adonija because of a girl.

Solomon went on to have over 700 wives and 300 concubines of which I'm very sure that girl he killed his brother for was among.

This was happening because David their father couldn't keep his díck one place.

This I have seen.
You didn't complete the story. How God punished King Solomon for serving other gods made by his foreign wives and her God warned him about marrying from a certain tribe that will make him serve idol. The kingdom was divided and given to the Medes and Persians., He lost his throne and died also. So that curse na strong one

I think it was a Young Girl Solomon Arranged for his father David, to 'Ease his pains'.🤨

And David Rejected her!

So Adonijah was like, If You no Want am, I want the Fresh Babe o. tongue cheesy
Adonija eyes the throne not the girl but trying tricks if Solomon did not emulate him Solomon would have been a dead person

I meant to write his king Solomon. Obviously, you should know his brother is king Solomon and not king David, his father.
Oya, I have corrected my self answer the question.
Re: Was This Action Of King Solomon Right Or Wrong? by jonex39: 1:09pm On Aug 13, 2023
According to the law of the land at that time. T whoever sleep with the woman btw Solomon and his brother automatically become the king. David was aware of his brother trick which his mother was not aware of that was why he killed him.
